This Retro Wireless Speaker Is Surprisingly Modern

While we love ogling at shiny new tech, it doesn't mean that gadgets that invoke nostalgia go unnoticed.

Lofree, the company that is best known for producing vintage-looking gizmos, has introduced the Lofree Poison, an audio device that merges retro aesthetics and modern functionality.

While the speaker looks like its straight out of the 1950s, the Poison pumps out rich and full-bodied sound thanks to its Waves MaxxAudio Acoustic Solution, a Technical Grammy Award-winning technology. On top of that, it is equipped with state-of-the-art bass enhancement system and ultra large diaphragm, resulting in mids and trebles from the front and bass that packs a punch.

Measuring in at approximately 7.08" x 4.13" x 2.75", this retro speaker is tiny enough to sit on your desk but loud and powerful enough to fill the whole room with sound. It is engineered with 20-watt amplifiers, making it far more capable than other speakers of similar size.

The Poison has a 2,000mAh rechargeable battery and promises up to six hours of wireless playtime. It also gives you the option to hook it up to an MP3 player via aux connection. And if you really want to take a trip down memory lane, you can switch to its built-in FM radio and shift through different stations using the rotating dial.
